A Burdensome Record.

Count Mitkiewicz, the principal person in
the syndicate which has obtained the val
liable concessions from the Chinese govern
ment, is very angry with the newspapers
for publishing interesting incidents of his
discreditable record He is reported as say
ing that he holds the winning hand, and
that the newspapers cannot hurt him.
1t seems that the capitalists who are as
ISOLATED with him did not know ANYTHING of
his early career in this country until they
saw accounts of it in the public prints.
They must have been rather startled at
finding themselves partners of man who
has been charged with having committed
many dishonest acts. 1t was stated day
or two ago that he had been offered $780,
600 for his interest in the syndicate If
this statement is correct it is probable that
his associates want to get rid of him, and
are willing to pay very handsome sum to
induce him to sever his connection with
them.
The syndicate will, of course, undertake
to raise money ia this country to carry out
its scheme in China, but it will find it rather
difficult perhaps to do that if Mitkiewicz
remains one of its members. However
great the confidence may be in Wharton
Barker, Simon Sterne, and others of the
syndicate it will not be an easy matter to
convince people who have money to invest
that they can safely intrust it to company
the chief member of which has the reputa-
ton of being an adventurer of the worst
kind.
1t is probable, however, that before the
stock of the syndicate is offered to the pub
lie great deal more will be made known
about its. plans than is now known,
and it may be that when the time
comes for business Mitkiewicz will be found
to hold much less important position than
he did while negotiations were going on for
the concessions.
If the syndicate is successful in carrying
out what is understood to be its programme
this country will be benefited to consider
able extent The attention of China will
be directed more strongly in this direction,
and our trade with her can hardly help
being increased AS Mitkiewicz threatens
to be an obstacle to the syndicate's success,
he ought to be got rid of as quickly as DOS
sible. Doubtless he now regrets that his
whole career has not been an honest one.
There is nothing more burdensome to man
who is trying to rise in the world than bad
record

in faultless black with long tailed coat, high
hat snowy white collar and wore fine black
silk cord around his neck connecting with his
watch. Evidently the man was minister.

They played some time in silence but could
not help noticing that the good man occasion

A New Way to Collect Old Debts



A neighboring blacksmith, who, by the way,
is also famous eKholter among backwoods
congregations, succeeded in borrowing $40 from
Paul Smith, the Adirondack hotel keeper. For
months and years the loan remained unpaid.
Every time the blacksmith would anticipate any
tendency toward dinning on the part of his
creditor by saying he ought to pay the loan,
and would pay 1t soon;'' but Smith seemed no
nearer reimbursed than before. Finally, in the
height Of the season, with his house full of
guests, he bethought himself of a scheme for
getting square with the blacksmith and turning
his exhortations to pecuniary account. He ar
ranged quietly with the exhorter for services
the following Sabbath in the little chapel near
the hotel, agreeing to divide such of the pro-
ceeds as should remain after the old debt was
cancelled. Then Paul took special pains that
all his wealthy guests should become interested
in the promised effort announcing the coming
event and bespeadng their attendance. The
Sabbath came and the exhorter was made
happy by the presence of a large congregation;
While the collection footed up the handsome
total of $50. Paul got his $40 as well as
profit of $21 additional, and lost no opportu-
nifty of telling his wealthy guests how they
were led into scheme for assisting him in Sc
curing the payment of a bad debt

"Pat" ponan and His Bible.

From the Piftsbur9 Commercial Gazette.
Col Pat DOMAIN, the Western orator, who says
he is going to be the priest to unite the North
and South by means Of marrying off lot of
pretty girls from Dixies to young men in the
North, has had many narrow escapes. He saved
his life once by abstaining from game of poker
and reading his Bible. few years after the
war he was passenger ON q Mississippi steam
boat bound to st. Louis from New Orleans The
Colonel was asked to take a hand in game of
draw poker that was going on in the forward
part of the cabin TWAS Sunday morning and
sudden impulse seized him to read something
instead of playing poker. He had nothing to
read until he thought of a little Bible that a
pretty young girl cousin gave him in New Or
leans, exacting promise from him that he
would sooner or later look between it's leaves.
In order to keep the poker players and the men
who watched the game from laughing at HIM if
they saw him reading Bible, he went to his
stateroom situated about the middle of the
cabin. He had been reading from the Psalms
of David about ten minutes when terrific ex-
plloson took place, killing oorisht all the poker
players and the men in thSfront part Of the
cabin. The Colonel was badly shaken up bnt
he managed to save halfdozen ladies by fight
ing lot of deck hands and capturing a small
boat. He took to the water after pushing off
the little boat filled with women and was picked
up three miles below. nearly frozen to death.

The Convict Problem.

The MORNING NEWS has more than once
suggested that the State could not make a
wiser disposition of her convicts than to
employ them in constructing good roads in
the different counties. The suggestion has
always been received with favor At this
time, when the investigation of alleged
abuses may result in the annulment of the
leases by which most of the convicts are
held, it might be well for the Legislature
and public to give this suggestion serious
examination. 1t Is true that the annulment
of the present leases would not abro-
gate the law under which they
were executed, but the evidence brought
out in the investigation may be of such
character as to convince the Legislature of
the wisdom of repeating it, The suggestion
in question is in effect that the State shall
invest the cost of maintaining its convicts
in the improvement of its roads. In this
way, more cheaply than in any other, all
portions of the State might be supplied with
graded and macadanized highways, rival
ing in usefulness the railroads, adding
vastly to the value of lands and increasing
the revenue of the State In the present
condition of roads the cost of transporta-
ton by wagon any considerable distance,
in almost any portion of the State,
is very great, and in the rainy
season very near impracticable. A country
in such condition can hardly hope for inn
migration of the class which would be most
valuable to it-small, Independent farmers,
of the kind whose industry and thrift have
aided so greatly in making the North and
West rich. Such people are too intelligent
to waste time and labor in dragging the
product of their farms in small bits through
miles of mud or sand so they go where such
waste is not necessary.
Every year in the West thousands of
miles of railroad are laid in advance of any
real demand, with the idea that transpor-
tation facilities will induce the settlement
of lands, which will make business for the
roads. The same thing is true of the i'm
provsment Of the highways. Easy access
to markets will increase the value of lands
and induce immigration
The cost of carrying out this suggestion
would, of course. be largely borne by the
counties in which the improvements are
made, and it might be still further reduced
by producing on farm, titled by those of
the convicts not equal to the task of road
making, the food supplies needed by the en-
tire body. Other plans for saving expense
might also be devised.
AS for the conyicts themselves, almost all
of whom are from a class used to out
door labor, work of the kind proposed
would be undoubtedly better than confne-
ment within walls. Controlled by State
officers, actuated in their conduct only by a
sense of duty, they could be subjected to a
mild yet firm discipline that would exact
the penalty imposed by law without cruelty
and, as far as possible, with reformatory
effect
